Reviews


The reviews for this restaurant are quite mixed. Some customers were unhappy with the service, mentioning rude staff members and a lack of attention to detail in the food. One particularly negative review highlighted issues with the octopus dish and the overall dining experience. Another diner found the prices to be on the high side and was disappointed with the portion sizes. However, there were also positive comments, praising the consistently delicious food, good service, and cozy atmosphere. Diners enjoyed dishes like the ricotta stuffed ravioli and the garlic pizza. While improvements in certain areas were suggested, many patrons still expressed a desire to return and give the restaurant another chance, Il Nido usually has an average rating of 3.5.
